I am broken
I am broken, mind and soul I am broken, with only one goal To keep going, or let myself go fighting to stay happy but the world says no Crushed by many, betrayed by plenty will i survive? I'm a shell left alone I cannot keep going Yet I still go, days keep flowing why must I wake each morning? just to relive it over and over again? Explain it to me, why do I suffer?? you cant, so why even bother. I jumped through fire, I fought my own anger and withered in sadness to a point where it just drove me to sudden madness keep your lies, pity and shame.. i am DONE with your shitty game betray me you have, lied to me you did so why do i still keep going? i never asked to be here, I'm sorry you have to know me if I'm that much of a poison why didn't you just abandon me? I never asked to be treated so harsh and bitter I thought I was loved once, boy such a kidder keep your poison and your toxic energy not even the moon stays around forever, it too needs a break once the sun

DevianTART: Lets get bready to crumble!
DeviantArt has been acquired again for a cool amount of dough and is being rebranded to DevianTART, home of the world’s largest online bakery and baking community. The acquisition was a long time coming, as bakers (formerly called deviants) have always had a passion for sharing their confectionery creations with the world! Top Off Your Treats As part of the rebranding efforts, bakers (formerly called deviants) are encouraged to put a delectable topping on bakes (formerly called deviations) that they love! When you find a bake (formerly called…you know what? You get the gist.) you think is good enough to eat, decorate it with Whipped Cream so it will look pristine in the bakery display. There’s enough Whipped Cream to last every baker until 11:59 PM Pacific Time on April 5th, so be sure to practice and perfect your piping by then! If you give 50 bakes or comments a Whipped Cream topping, you’ll receive a Baker’s Delight decoration for your bakery! The Great DevianTART

Seniority Announcement: April 2024
Seniority has been a cornerstone of DeviantArt since its early years, and is an award given to those who have made their mark on the community. These outstanding deviants have been recognized for their level of interaction, helpfulness with others, kindness, sincerity, and many other notable traits. These deviants can be recognized by the medal icon that appears next to their username, and in 23 years, fewer than 2,000 deviants have received Seniority. The following deviants, having shown a kindred spirit that has led to continued positive community interaction and involvement, are the most recent recipients of Seniority. Please join us in congratulating them! @Grim-Castlaire Though @Grim-Castlaire joined DeviantArt just three years ago, their impact is hard to overstate. An active member of the adoptables community, they’re always supportive of other artists and frequently suggest works to be featured as Daily Deviations. @Foolish-Hearts A prolific fan artist

Suggest a Daily Challenge!
Daily Challenges launched in September, giving artists an art prompt each day to fuel artistic ideas and build good creative habits. Over 200 challenges and hundreds of thousands of creations later, now’s your chance to suggest ideas for future challenges! How to Suggest a Daily Challenge Share a tag in the comments that you think should be a daily challenge! If your suggestion gets added to the calendar, a DeviantArt team member will let you know! You can also browse the comments and give a like or badge to suggestions you love! Tips for Challenge Ideas Come up with a challenge open to most genres. (#Landscape is easier for everyone to do than #LandscapePainting, for example.) If you have a genre-specific challenge, try to make sure it’s accessible for everyone. (#Haiku is a good example because it’s easy enough for everyone to understand and try!) Abstract concepts like #love, #retro, or #peace can allow artists to get creative with what they make.

Le champ de tournesols
je veux juste rentrer à la maison
me soufflent les fleurs écrasées sur le trottoir
et l'odeur du frangipanier sur le goudron d'ivoire
embaume la case aux lumières cosy jusqu'à la prochaine lunaison
oui, moi aussi
j'aimerais rentrer sur un jetski sans châssis,
passer sous des arcs-en-ciel sans trésors
et sentir l'iode revigorante des poissons morts
si j'étais de retour à la maison,
je m'allongerais dans l'herbe à écouter la floraison
et à jeter de la dynamite dans la meule ;
puis je prendrais le vélo rouillé de la voisine seule,
roulant à travers les jaunes c
